In some townships across States and Regions, so-called PDF terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are civil servants, administrative officials and innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants or decoys”. This strategy is intended to instill fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.
Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 2 September, 2024 at 9:00 AM, a report stated that two men were shot dead in Lat Htoke Village, Nyaung-U Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to investigate, they discovered that the victims were U Chit Ko (42 years old) and U Tin Tun Aung Wai (aka) Su Gyi Wai (45 years old) both residents of the village. While the victims were at their respective houses, approximately 10 so-called PDF terrorists arrived and opened fire on them, resulting in their deaths on the spot, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of innocent civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
